Day 1 Top Performers
quote:
- Holden Geriner, Savannah (Ga.) Benedictine Military School, committed to Auburn
Geriner was as consistent as any passer and solid throughout the day, showing good touch on his deeper passes. Geriner was hitting his receivers between the numbers, in stride, with a smooth release, and showing a bevy of throws tonight to all levels.
Posted on 7/1/21 at 7:59 am to Solo Cam
Klubnik was the Alpha Dog Day 1 but not on this guys top 8.
quote:
Alpha Dog: Cade Klubnik, Austin (Texas) Westlake, committed to Clemson Klubnik was easily the most consistent quarterback on Day 1. He showed great touch on his passes, ability to make all of the throws, putting heat on when needed and taking it off when the route called for it. He had impressive velocity and despite not having any real standout receivers to throw to, looked like he had no issues with timing and rhythm. In each of the drills, he showed his energy and competitiveness, not taking any reps off, looking laser-focused.
quote:
Nick Evers, Flower Mound (Texas), committed to Florida Speaking of Texas quarterbacks, Evers had a really good evening, throwing with consistency and plenty of pop. He was smooth in the play action and with his throws. Evers throws with "dynamite in his elbow" and had some of the better back-shoulder throws on the evening.
quote:
Conner Weigman, Cypress (Texas) Bridgeland, committed to Texas A&M
And yet another Texan who shined on Day 1, Weigman flashed nice touch throughout and won the rail shot competition on the night. From a frame standpoint, he certainly looks the part and he's clearly one of the more athletic guys here.
quote:
- Walker Howard, the LSU commit from Lafayette (La.) St. Thomas More, has a ton of ability and one of the better pure arms of this group, with some electric throws both on and off platform. He finished second in the rail shot competition.
- Martin (Tenn.) Westview passer Ty Simpson was as consistent a performer as the school he's committed to, Alabama, just going out and checking off every box throughout the evening. While there may not have been any "wow" moments from him, he was steady all evening. He also has an electric personality that was contagious with his group.

Another very different ranking
LINK
1. Ty Simpson (Alabama commit)
It was a close call, but the Alabama commitment’s consistency was unmatched on the first day of the marathon week. Whether it was the mechanics, delivery, velocity or overall accuracy, the SIAA staff didn’t see many missteps from the Tennessean. He was particularly accurate while in the pocket, working to all three levels, often hitting the intended target on the numbers. While on the move, his athleticism shined through and allowed for relatively easy-looking completions, even when working against the grain. Simpson showed no weaknesses out of the gate.
4. Nick Evers (Florida commit)
There are a lot of powerful arms among the group of Elite 11 finalists, but the Florida Gators commit puts zip on his passes as consistently as anyone. Evers impressed onlookers in the rail shot competition with a perfect first throw and another solid pass to follow, although it wasn’t enough to push through the end of the challenge according to the coaches. There were some minor placement issues on throws rolling to his left side, but otherwise Evers put the ball in a catchable spot for his receiver far more often than not. We’ll want to see his footwork improve on under-center drops as he plays in a high school offense that operates solely out of the shotgun, but he grew more comfortable on each rep in that department.
6. Holden Geriner (Auburn commit)
Another prospect extremely comfortable on the run, Geriner breezed through most of the drills presented to him Wednesday. Despite a delivery on a lower plane than some of his competitors, the Auburn commitment doesn’t sacrifice drive on the football upon its release. He sprayed it all over the field with confidence in looking like one of the best at the event. It shouldn’t surprise given how well Geriner did at both the Atlanta and Orlando regionals, where he was hard to miss with the effectiveness and whip-like motion he throws with.
9. Tayven Jackson (Tennessee commit)
It’s hard to miss the ball jumping off of the Tennessee commitment’s hands throughout the course of a two-plus hour workout. Equipped with a long frame, you wouldn’t know it watching a fairly quick release with plus accuracy all night long. When the passers are able to fully air it out, we could see Jackson climbing this list.
12. Walker Howard (LSU commit)
The Louisiana native is a precision passer and it showed well more than not on Wednesday night. After a bit of a slow start relative to some others, Howard bounced back and got better as the event wore on. His plus athleticism, mechanics and arm strength made for some of his best throws late in the workout. Howard nearly won the event’s knockout-style competition, the ‘rail shot’ event, making it to the final pair alongside Texas A&M pledge Connor Weigman.
17. Conner Weigman (Texas A&M commit)
Connor Weigman struggled with his consistency for a good portion of the day, and lacked some of the accuracy you’d like to see in some of the shorter and medium-range throws. The velocity is there, and the tools are there, but at least after day one he has a lot to improve on. Weigman did get better as the day progressed, however, with his best portion of the camp came in the rail shot competition, which he won over Walker Howard.

Quinn Ewers is the best QB I have ever seen, EVER. He missed on his last throw but I can see now why he is the highest rated QB ever.
Posted on 7/1/21 at 8:20 am to Farmer1906
You'll literally find vastly different rankings from site to site and from day to day on these. Generally speaking the sites eventually write up on everyone doing good basically to touch base on everyone.
If there's anything Elite 11 has taught us is it has no real bearing on success in college from the Elite 11 they pick.

Oh really..... Tell that to Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence a few years ago who were 1-2 @ the elite.

shite is all over the place. I would just say if you have a guy there he's going to be a good one
Posted on 7/1/21 at 11:08 am to Captain Crown
Agreed. All of these guys have high potential. The rankings are always all over the map and change from day to day. They are useless.

Let's examine some of their finalists from that entire elite 11 (they actually chose 12 total).
Here's a sample of some of those final 12:
Cammon Cooper
Devin Leary
Tanner McKee
Quincy Patterson
Justin Rogers
Jack Tuttle
Jarren Williams
So that's more than half the best of the best of the best from their regional events to the 20-man final event of their final 12 they chose, and you probably havent really heard of any of those guys in college, because they havent done sh*t
So again, the finalists in the elite 11 have very little bearing on what happens in college correlation wise.

Only one I remember from that group is Justin Rogers. Wasn't he the guy from LA that got hurt and ended up at TCU?

The Rail Shot Challenge is a test of arm talent. It’s that throw that QBs have to drive between the corner and the safety vs Cover 2.
Judging by your
post I’m guessing you think this is a dumb challenge? Care to explain why patty?

The video from 2019 shows it and explains it pretty well.

3. Conner Weigman (Texas A&M commit)
Score: 53, perfect throws: 14
Texas A&M commit Conner Weigman nearly came away with the win on Thursday night, charting an impressive 14 perfect throws, including eight in a row once he got across midfield. Weigman’s downfall was on his first throw of the day -- an easy miss -- and on his avoid 7 - cut right route, which was his only true miss of the night.
8. Nick Evers (Florida commit)
Score: 50, perfect throws: 10
Florida commit Nick Evers wrapped up his night with a total of 50 points. While his placement wasn’t always elite, Evers was one of the most consistent in terms of zip and general accuracy throughout his reps. The future Gator didn’t miss a throw all night and actually threw better outside of the pocket than in. The final throw of his pro day - one with a murky, back-of-the-endzone window - Evers was one of the only quarterbacks to nail.
10. Ty Simpson (Alabama commit)
Score: 47, perfect throws: 10
Ty Simpson, who earned SI All-American's No. 1 ranking on day one, made his money with throws on the run and down the field throughout the pro day circuit. Simpson had no issue connecting on his rail shot, play-action deep left corner route and play-action endzone seam, while also showing similarly impressive velocity on short-to-intermediate concepts.
t-12. Holden Geriner (Auburn commit)
Score: 46, perfect throws: 9
As was the case for the bulk of the prospects on script, when Geriner crossed the 50-yard line, the Auburn commitment r really got into a rhythm. He impressed on some of the deeper throws like the rail shot and the vertical choice route in the end zone, where there was a coverage read mixed into the throw. Geriner drops and throws with good posture and has plenty of zip on the ball with his whip-like motion. At one point, the Peach Stater hit four straight money throws where he has long appeared most comfortable, while on the move.
17. Tayven Jackson (Tennessee commit)
Score: 44, perfect throws: 7
Jackson ended up in the bottom third of our point rankings after missing a few deep throws outside the hashes. We liked what we saw from his intermediate routes, and he put the ball on the money a couple of times from outside the pocket and on the move.
19. Walker Howard (LSU commit)
Score: 43, perfect throws: 6
Walker Howard made some great throws inside the hashes, but struggled when it came time to spread it out on the boundary. After missing a couple of throws early on in his session, he settled in and delivered the ball where it needed to be. Look for a bounce-back day tomorrow from Howard.
3. Conner Weigman (Texas A&M commit)
